the mine and the poor Sheriff and the town of Oblivion is in the middle of the war.
ZEDD'S OPINION:
Cowboys and aliens, what can be cooler. Now these movies were never meant to be taken too seriously. They were meant to
be a fun experience which lots of tongue and cheek action. The movie is clever but the characters do fall a bit flat at times.
But other then that Backlash was even better then the first movie. 8 STARS.
VOLTRON'S OPINION:
The story is a tad weak, they use a lot of lame dialog as filler. It's good, don't get me wrong but I feel that both movies
are missing something, but I just can't place my finger on it. 7 STARS.
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):
+ CAST (An amazing cast for such a low budget Full Moon film.)
+ STORY (Cool, basic, but cool.)
+ EFFECTS (The effects are cool.)
+ CHARACTERS (Flat but interesting.)
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):
- FLAT CHARACTERS (The characters fall a little flat.)
- SOMETHING IS MISSING (VOLTRON feels there is something missing but he can't quite figure out what.)
...AND FINALLY...
- FAN BASED (If you aren't big on Sci-Fi/Westerns or didn't like the first movie, then this isn't for you.)
